About

Richard Mannion is a consultant neurosurgeon at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge. His main interests are spinal problems and brain tumours, including tumours of the skull base and pituitary gland. He works on all aspects of spinal disease interest him including infection, tumours, trauma and degenerative / wear and tear conditions. In particular, he is interested in the role of minimally invasive spinal surgery in treating people with spinal problems having witnessed the advantages of keyhole techniques in his own people.

Richard completed a fellowship in Brisbane, Australia where he became skilled in all aspects minimally invasive spinal techniques and along with Mr. Trivedi, has built up a large minimally invasive spinal practice here in Cambridge.

Mr Mannion specialises in chronic pain conditions such as low back pain, neck pain and a trigeminal neuralgia which affects thousands of people. Thankfully, most patients have symptoms which are either self-limiting, or can be managed with minimal intervention. If more severely affected, management may demand a combination of complex analgesics, physical therapies and surgery. The underlying neurobiological mechanisms responsible for chronic pain conditions are now better understood, and day case surgical therapies (including minimally invasive techniques) can achieve effective and long-lasting pain control for patients with refractory pain, that fail medical treatment or are intolerant of more potent analgesic drugs.
